 How To Survive the Arctic in a $800 Truck
1 Min read

The dudes at Donut are too damn much.

In their latest YouTube video they buy a truck on Facebook Marketplace for $800, then drive it 2000 miles through some of Alaska’s most punishing conditions.

Looking at the Nissan D21 Hardbody, it’s the type of truck that advertises itself using red-flag descriptors like ‘first to see will buy’, ‘no lowballers I know what I have’ and ‘great project car’…

Well, they bought it anyway, and successfully completed their mission.

So what’s the secret to surviving the Arctic in a $800 truck?

A solid support crew.

Watch closely and at minute 33 of the hour-long epic, you’ll spot a Contour Canopy on one support vehicle and a Canopy Camper on another.

We love to see it!
